This is what you really look like! :-)

Nigel, although I understand you have a wide perspective on life, I feel that the men in white coats are moving in fast. You are amoungst friends here, who accept and enjoy your craziness , BUT.... you are rigggghhhhttttt out there.

I see it like this: there are many speculations on life and many crazy ideas. Some people even write about it, we can call this science fiction if you like. All unsubstantiated theories, ideas of what might happen in the future or what happened in the past or where we came from or where we are going. But you believe all this, like watching Dr Who or a sci-fi movie, you really think it is real. In reality, Dr Who is just a childrens fantasy drama, so I think you are caught up in a fantasy.
It is nice to think outside the box sometimes, but even if you truely believe you have the will to change anything with 'will power' is just an illusion you are using to fill a void somewhere.
Nothing you have said will stop me feeling hungry, nothing you have said will stop my fingers burning if I put my hands in a fire. Life is not an illusion, it is a one off journey into the future. We feel every knock as we push through life. Thinking it is anything other than real, unless you can prove me wrong, is just your fantasy.
btw, I enjoy your posts, it makes me think I am not so after all

I like the point you've made there, maybe I am trying to fill a void with these things I'm interested in, maybe I've got an underlying fear of death or the future or something.

It's made me wonder what my fears might be..

I'm convinced we are co creators of thought though...

Love&Light!

I am happy to think you picked out the point I was making Nigel, maybe exploring that angle will give you a truer enlightenment.

Steve, I spent more than 10 or 20 years firmly convinced of a solipsistic view of reality from the age of 12 or so, that was 38 years ago, everything that Nigel is saying is a valid and possible interpretation of reality and this holographic stuff is actually some solid science speculation however I think he's got a little mixed up on the holographic universe thing.

The reaction on here is exactly what I experienced as a child when I tried to explain these ideas to people, that is what led me to realise that proselytizing about it was a bad idea

Once I stopped bothering to try to preach to everyone about it, I actually settled down and got on with my life and started to enjoy life a bit more.

It is a fascinating subject and has allowed me an internal personal view of reality that is comforting in many ways (a bit like faith) but it's not a good subject for public debate as the idea's tend to frighten people.
